It's true what he says about Cooper. And he looks so adorable I could just hug him forever. Stephen is hilarious on his own, Jon is too, but I especially love when they're together. Together they are unstopable!! Laugh-inducing army of two, people.

I love when he switches from Stephen Colbert to "Stephen Colbert." His voice and posture changes.

aside from being urbane, erudite and charismatic, colbert's satire is brilliantly sharp. but his real genius is in never being supercilious or malicious. his humour is so good natured. it is impossible for anyone, even the people he so brilliantly satirises, not to be completely charmed by the man. a tour de force! A very Unugly American.

Can you imagine what a fun husband and dad he must be? Never a dull moment, I'm sure.

"How can you change the world though?" "By catching it in the headlights of my justice!"

I stopped watching for a few years, started again and I'm already in love with Stephen Colbert again. :D

I love Stephen!

@immoley EVERYBODY has a crush on Anderson Cooper, it can't be helped

Intelligent, witty, funny, influential, eccentric, imaginative, fresh, very human and extremely charming. Sexier than Brad Pitt. I could go on...

He went into character half way in, he is good!

he is so smart! i didn't know the interviews are improvised!

STephen TOTALLY has a man-crush on Cooper, guess he's in luck since Coop likes the guys.

This is my favoritest titile of a video ever. =] "by catching it in the headlites of my justice" - LMAO - best answer ever!

You can see the exact moment he slips into character, this is wonderful xD

Ha ha I knew he could not go the whole interview with out doing his character. Love it. "How can you change the world?" "By catching it in the headlights of my Justice." ha ha ha ha.

I know I'm late saying this, but Stone Phillips is the best name ever. He made that up for television didnt he? Lol

He has a gorgeous smile.

"can't be disappointed if you actually don't change things, because it can't have been your intention"... I deeply respect Colbert for everything he represents, but he is also part of the machine. It's Reform, not Revolution for him.

I just found out Colbert lives in my town. It's all I can do not to sneak into his house and steal his socks.

He swtiched into "Stephen Colbert" around 3:00 haha

Colbert is great. Obvious Charlie likes him too! Like what he said about Anderson Cooper.

He is a great interviewer, and what a great interviewee

@conserve1energy You said it so perfectly. Summed up everything. I just want to give him a big ol' hug. Thanks so much for sharing this interview, it was very entertaining and fascinating. Stephen seems like such a total sweetheart, I love him and admire him and am so thankful he's around to make people laugh.

I keep trying to post the link to the entire interview, but I'm unable to post it in the comment section. To see the entire interview, just go to the Charlie Rose website and type "Stephen Colbert" into the search engine. Or you can send me a message and I can give you the direct link to the page.

Two decent, easy on the eyes, brilliant Americans! thanks for posting this.

@TheTyaptyap quality men are hard to come by nowadays, so we get especially excited when we see someone like colbert. this goes not just for the men but for the ladies as well. Sad indeed.

this guy alone could change the face of politics,are atleast give it an intoxicating smerk

Not sure what other dramatic work Colbert has done, but I just caught him this weekend on Law& Order playing a criminal forgerer. Darn great chops! Here's the info I gathered from imdb: Law & Order: Criminal Intent" .... James Bennett (1 episode, 2004)

I'm surprised he doesn't watch O'Reilly's show! That's nonstop material!

and back at 3:55

Colbert is a very unique character.

I love him

Oh man. Just found your comment. And although it was 3 month ago: Thank you. Thank you very much!

Thanks for putting these up, biter.

What a brilliant comment.

I don't think he swings that way, girlfriend. ;-)

reminisce

Noooooo!!! l want him on our team!!!! What a lost, ladies. :-(

The "Weimar Republic" was the German state after World War I. So it was the current government (Germany's first democracy). And in that time political and social comedians where quite numerous (as where political parties and fractions). But that didn't stop Hitler from completely taking over, when he rose to power...

funny watching him go in out of character. genius!

i dunno.. i think i like colbert the peformer as much as the person

Oh my god he called it a Colbert Report!!! (As in he pronounced the T at the end) How foolish!!

what a beautiful man.

mmm. you got personal... I wonder why? I studied Industrial Eng. and my IQ is 144 (more than 5th grader)... Jon and Stephen show videos of politicians saying one thing today and saying the opposite thing 5 years ago... CNN doesn't do that... I like that: show people that politicians work in a double standard environment, depending if it is convenient for them... don't get personal if you can make a point in a logic way with some facts.

Not at all! I think you made a really astute observation.

Aww Stephen, we can talk about the Human Genome Project with you for hours n hours!! But you know what, I bet you would make me pee on my pants while we talk!!! "Bright as a new dime" comment to Andy!!! lmao!!! :-)

ouch, he said colbert reporT!

I know I'm a little late to the party here, but "flip shit" or any variation of that phrase, generally means you'd be very upset with something... not the way you meant to say it.

The variety of people found on KZread is staggering isn't it? I read comments because of people like hoboyho.

xD I wonder what they would get on e-bay.

Damn, SC - we want you to too, from time to time. Sometimes your antics make me embarrassed to be a fan.

why all the hate on lucraxo, hes right you know

Trust me, he makes fun of the ring wing more. :P

He only pretends to be right wing, but makes fun of both sides equally :)

i think that was meant to be a joke.

what's that?

Hmm... I think youre in reverse order

ok... :s
